Club Med rolls out group incentives for spring
Club Med last week rolled out a Spring Into Summer promotion offering group incentives for travel partners booking its all-inclusive resorts in North America.
Travel agents booking a new group for three nights or more by May 31, 2013, receive 15% commission and a complimentary two-night stay for two.

Groups of 41 to 75 receive two of the incentives; groups over 75 receive all three.
Travel professionals must ask for the incentive program at time of booking, and book through the USA Club Med Business department. Commission is valid on land portion only.
Groups must be booked by May 7, 2013, for travel between August 1 and October 31, 2013. Sandpiper Bay black out dates of August 30-September 2, 2013.
